<p>Which is better for pre med? If people could offer stats and links that would be great. Also which is better for psychology? Thanks!</p>
<p>berkeley psych is pure ace. </p>
<p>for premed (as in… pre-med-school ?) you ain’t gotta be no college yob to see all the threads on CC complaining about cal’s sucky rep and record regarding med school admission rates…</p>
<p>Are you a psychology major? If so, it depends on what field of psychology you are interested in. </p>
<p>If you are focusing on the social aspects of psychology, as a social science, then go to berkeley.</p>
<p>If you want to become a clinical psychologist, neuropsychologist, or use psychology to go to med school, then UCLA would be a better fit for you since there is the med center on campus to do research, internships and volunteering.</p>
<p>This is an interesting question for me as well except the main thing I am wondering is does Berkeley do high end neuroscience research on campus? Will I have opportunities for that kind of internship or is the lack of medical center on campus really make those kinds of dreams a meek possibility.</p>
<p>If you plan to go to med school, or become a clinical neuropsychologist then UCLA is the beter fit. If you want to have a career in research like getting a PHD is neuroscience, then Berkeley is better.</p>

<p>I don’t know much about neuroscience, but I just googled neuroscience research at Berkeley and found a long list of professors that do research in the field. There will probably be research for you if you look for it.</p>

<p>wait, just because UCLA has a med school doesn’t mean it’s a better choice for pre-med.
Acutally, if your goal is UCLA med school (which is mine), don’t go undergrad there.
Because in order to go into UCLA med school as a UCLA undegrad, you need a very high gpa, something like 3.8ish, while students from other schools have a lower requirement.</p>
<p>You know how it works, “stricter standard on our own students” thing?</p>
